Thank you for taking time to post content. A real and safe test would have been more helpful. Raspberries are meant to be refrigerated and likely create gases from breaking down that will push up on the lid. Also vacuum sealing fresh (without freezing) mushrooms is not the recommended and can cause botulism. I would recommend doing some research and making your reviews/test real tests that help your viewers Guage true product performance. Not meant to be negative, just constructive. We appreciate your posts.
Stacie: I couldn't agree more with the quality and the versatility of the Zwilling Vacuum bags. They are superb and function really well to preserve food in the fridge and the freezer for extended times. However, don't give up on the containers because items like bread and rolls and fruits that are crushable will be squashed in the bags whereas placing them in the canisters allows for a complete vacuum and seal and the food won't be crushed. Bread and buns come out of the freezer with the Zwilling canisters and when popped in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds have the texture, the taste and even the smell of fresh baked bread and rolls. Each has their purpose. A compromise that I have been experimenting with is to place the Rubbermaid container with the vent lid into a large Zwilling vacuum bag while leaving the vent open on the canister inside while the vacuum is turned on. Now the Rubbermaid is vacuum sealed and the canister vent lid can be then closed before the canister is removed from the Zwilling bag. The best of both worlds. So far it seems to work as well as the Zwilling canisters at much less cost of entry. Thanks for All your tips and tricks. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Some tricks I saw others mentioned is that for delicate/soft foods, put them in the bag, thes freeze them is the bag, and once they're frozen, vacuum seal them. The firmness from being frozen helps prevent them from getting crushed. You're welcome. However, glass containers (esperially borosilicate) are still superior to plastic (especially bags) in terms of food safety and durability. But I guess they are more expensive.
There are two sealer vs regular tupperware tests in this video and neither give an actual answer. Why didn't you just redo the raspberry experiment properly instead of a video of you doing it incorrectly? What's the point of us watching the user error experiment? It's literally the only point of the video.
Thank you for this helpful review. Just FYI, it is not safe to vacuum seal mushrooms. They can grow bacteria faster in a vacuum seal because of anaerobic bacteria.
The glas containers are great for cold cuts. It stays fresh much longer. Also freesing with these containers is great , as with bags food does not get freezer burn.
This was an awesome, real world review. I was wondering if the Zwilling system worked well or not and now, because of you, I have my answer. I love the "idea" of glass containers. It's better for things like curry and foods that would otherwise stain plastic bags. But the glass containers do not stay airtight. So close yet so far. I don't have a dish washer and it seems odd to hand wash the inside of the plastic bags. Can you really get them clean? Zwilling needs to go back to the drawing board and get their glass containers engineered correctly. The glass containers would be great for storage large amounts of food and I feel far more comfortable storing food in glass rather than storing food in in chemical laden plastic.
Not mentioned, but my motivation for buying this was the number of ziplock bags I was throwing out, that arent recyclable. It was killing me tbh, and I was using alot since I buy meat in bulk from Costco and I love to batch cook and freeze.
I think mushrooms dont work with vacuuming, its a fungus and I also read something about it but im not sure if I remember right its vacuuming or freezing them in that it was about
i just ordered mine and opted to just get the device and a pack of bags lol didnt care for the containers and glad to see the containers were not that good
Thank you. I have many of the Rubbermaid Brilliance glass storage containers as you. I was trying to decide wether to get the Zwelling glass or plastic fresh and save container set. I will now go for strictly the bags. You really helped me!
Be careful sealing fresh mushrooms in a vacuum sealer. Aparently they can go bad on you because of something in the mushroom. Cooked mushrooms should be ok.
The whole point of this set is to NOT waste plastic bags, what are you even on about? These are reusable forever, unlike most other ziplock bags that get thrown out after a single use.
It’s nit an accurate test, ZWILLING container is way bigger than the rubbermaid one so it held more air and had more empty space than the other one. That’s why rubbermaid worked better tho.
I was wondering about that, too. Shouldn't the Vacuum system reduce the amount of air so much, so that there is basically no air left for the mold to grow? (not sure if mold actually needs air, tho...)
@@scfan7231 The Raspberries have moisture. The moisture will evaporate from the Raspberries and become a gas thereby reducing the vacuum until the pressure is equal to the outside air pressure. That should result in slightly dehydrated Raspberries and an unsealed container (and mold).
1- tests it agains rubbermaid non Vacuum containers and the Zwelling fail miserably. 2- lowers benchmark and uses regular, basic plastic containers with no special seals and there is absolutely no difference between it. 3- deflects and says it is not important because she is just interested on the zipper bags. 4- I go to the Zwelling store and return the system I bought yesterday.

I'm also left wondering what would have happened if it was done correctly.

2:40 you definitely invalidate the experiment when you touch the Raspberries with your hand

Luvele might be better. Not sure. But they do have glass containers with valves and their own hand pump
I have a foodsaver I bought at Costco 4 years ago...still going strong...THAT is a very long time!

How easy is it to clean the bags after use? Does the little vacuum plug thing get food stuck in it?
Some users reported issues with plastic covers to crack after some time. Do you have some similar experience?

How do you wash your bags in the diahwasher?
thank you!!!! I was about to order the glass containers until I watched this. You saved my day!! I'll go for bags!!
Good, honest review. Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks! This was really helpful. I was plainning to buy the glass container but didn't and just stick with the bags.
Just picked up the small and large bags plus the pump I love it going to buy some containers next
Very helpful review! Thank you!
Thanks Stacie, great review. I'm going to buy one.
Thank you. I have many of the Rubbermaid Brilliance glass storage containers as you. I was trying to decide wether to get the Zwelling glass or plastic fresh and save container set. I will now go for strictly the bags. You really helped me!
Amazon was out of the rubber maid Where can I get them?
@@georgea6403 I bought my Rubber Maid containers from Target
Got the 7 piece set for $64
Is it easy enough to clean the bags?
Can the bags be reused?
Yes.
Mushrooms shouldn’t be vacuumed sealed, they will spoil faster when vacuumed! Cheese slices or freezing thing or lunch meats!
How much for swilling vacuum stater set
How do you wash bags safely?
Be careful sealing fresh mushrooms in a vacuum sealer. Aparently they can go bad on you because of something in the mushroom. Cooked mushrooms should be ok.
So what happened to the mushroom test? What were the results?
You aren't supposed to vacuum seal mushrooms.
@@wishingb5859 how come?
@@shawmeck9323 Raw mushrooms decay faster when vacuum sealed and there is an increased risk of botulism. Cooked mushrooms are okay to vacuum seal.
@@shawmeck9323 Botulism grows better in an anaerobic setting. But mostly mushrooms ripen faster when vacuum sealed.
Where can I find those bags?
More plastic bags in landfills is what you are promoting….nice!
The whole point of this set is to NOT waste plastic bags, what are you even on about?
These are reusable forever, unlike most other ziplock bags that get thrown out after a single use.
You literally have both of the food storage containers that I am interested in purchasing 🤩
Can you use the system on mason jars?
Food saver has mason jar vacuum attachments
wow! used for a very long time.....2 whole months!! lol.....
The Test was not very Intelligent: Mold does not need Air to grow...
It's kind of strange that the vacuum container didn't last longer than the traditional one. How did that mushroom test go?
My mushrooms last for a long time by storing them in a small paper lunch bag,. Hope this helps.
@@lperiodbperiod YES, this. Storing mushooms in paper containers seems to make it last longer. Also the surfaces don't get slippery.
If they wouldn't squish food that would've been a great idea.

Poor design of the product.
It is a waste of money...
Are these people who design this product even smart or they are just here to take your money!!!
You speak too much…. 🤦🏻
Seriously 🙄
